Property is very modern and location is not bad, handy for A1 and Bamburgh. No immediate dog walking areas as all land nearby is private. We stayed with 6 adults probably better suited to 4 or 2 adults and two kids .

The cottage is ideally situated for a winter break - close to coastal areas and stunning views. The cottage itself is impressive, with gorgeous light, especially in sunlight. The ambience is of warm and calming comfort: plenty of nooks to hide away but also lots of space to socialise. Kitchen superbly appointed and a lovely space to cook. I echo thRead moree comments of other reviewers tat a car is useful. Walking to nearby beaches/mud-flats is possible, but involves several miles along busy B-roads Hide

We had spent the loveliest weekend here. The house was really special. Decor and furnishings were lovely and every room was exceptionally comfortable. Very clean and well equipped throughout. The kitchen in particular had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals and it was such a social space to spend time in.

House is spacious and clean. Bed linen and towels were high quality and the owner was easily contactable in the event of a query. The location is close to many attractions (but you need a car!). We found the property a bit too warm in the summer, but I think it would be an excellent choice in the winter as would be very cosy.
